WhileBrian was hanging on the street next to Roman's cab depot, high on cocaine, he met [[Niko Bellic]], eventually giving him 100 dollars, after making fun of Niko's accent. This encounter is meant more of an introduction to random character missions than an actual mission.

Nikolater encounters him at another spot in [[Hove Beach]], around the corner from the Hove Beach Safehouse. This time Brian asks to be driven to visit some crack dealers to buy the "biggest rock in the world". Do not use a police car to drive him.

Aweek later, Brian meets Niko a third and final time, and relates his story -- his situation deteriorated after their last meeting (he had spent some time as a crack whore), but he is now on a nine-step recovery program for his habit, and is engaged to be married. He tells Niko he is now at step nine of his program, in which he must speak to some of the people he harmed and ask them to forgive and forget -- he apologizes for his rudeness when he first met Niko, and explains that he wants to pay back some of the former dealers he owes money to. Niko forgives him and agrees to drive Brian to their location; the dealers, however, are none too happy with Brian, and attack him -- Niko can kill them to save Brian or simply point a gun at them to scare them off, and then drives him home.

*During Brian's third encounter, he will speak in a more calm and relaxed demeanor, as he is not under the effects of any drugs unlike his first two encounters. He also won't have dark circles around his eyes because of this.

Brian meets Niko a third and final time, and relates his story -- his situation deteriorated after their last meeting (he had spent some time as a crack whore), but he is now on a nine-step recovery program for his habit, and is engaged to be married.

Like most characters in the game, Brian will don a unique helmet when riding alongside the protagonist on a motorbike. His helmet looks very much like Niko Bellic's helmet: jet black with a clear visor, as opposed to Niko's, which has a tinted visor.

He is one of only two characters from GTA IV to have three encounters, the other one being Jeff.

During Brian's third encounter, he will speak in a more calm and relaxed demeanor, as he is not under the effects of any drugs unlike his first two encounters. He also won't have dark circles around his eyes because of this.
